opens up when you do. >> four more years. what's going to happen? what does my crystal ball say about things like marijuana. >> i inhaled frequently. >> what happened to energy policy? >> it is intolerable. accepted de pen tense on energy sources. will the regulation go bigger>> what will we see in four more

years? that's our show tonight. >> i have my crystal ball i can see what's going to happen. first over the next four months pundits will scream about fiscal cuts. will congress work out a deal? yes. i can see it. th they will meet and hold press conferences and threat and predict disaster and reach a deal right before the end. it won't solve much it will postpone the reckoning and could they congratulate it saevend the media will -- the media will

send it to someone else. >> predict the future. >> looks pretty good. a lot of people are waking up to know that what we have today isn't workable but in the short run the people in charge aren't going to admit they are not bankrupt. they will keep putting it aside and but then we will eventually probably destroy the dollar. it will be forced to revamp and enhance the system of financing. i think it won't be anything quite as bad as the assistant collapse. but a lot of changes will have to come. i think true bankruptcy will mean we no longer can main tan an em tire and maintain entitlement they will have to face reality. don't expect all of the solutions to come on january 1st.

they will have some doctored up proep poedz s -- proposal. ultimately we will have to face up to the accept -- excessive spending and government but not for a little while yet. >> the secstration law was designed for the unwillingness to make tough cuts. this is how jim engel reported it. >> it was so distasteful officials would do anything and everything to avoid it. >> you don't think they will say, gee, we don't want to cut this money for the military, domestic spending we are going to cut entitlements make real decisions. >> they assumed they made it so bad they wouldn't accept it. i don't think they did anything. they are not cut talking about cuts. they are talking about cutting a trillion dollars over 10 years. they are not talking about real cuts. they are talking about cuts in

baseline budgeting. >> explain baseline budgeting. i hate it when you politicians talk that way. no person understands that. what you mean is if i am ngoing to cut we will spend next year. when you guys do it it means -- >> we have already written into the next ten-year budget automatic increases. if you are proposing let's say a billion, $10 billion increase for next year and you cut it down to 9 they say they are cutting 10 percent. they are not cutting anything. they are only increasing 9 billion instead of $10 million. it is done on purpose so people get confused and if cuts don't mean anything they mean only nibbling away at increases that's the reason nothing ever happens and they have got a way with it for a long time. both sides whether liberals or conservatives they want to spend money it was a lot of wealth you

should get along with it. they are bankrupt they won't admit it there's why there is so much anger and frustration. it is hard to diff sri up loot when it is so hanothing to diff sri up. -- diff sri up. >> the media says the tax increases if they and spending cuts do happen the cuts total 55 billion from defense, 55 billion from domestic spending into the future that that will be terrible. >> it's a nightmare. i am worried about it, too. >> that's a total disaster. >> it will create chaos. >> drive our economy off the fiscal cliff. >> really? well one of the people who teaches me economics says no. it might be okay. russ roberts of the hoover institute. >> it's not this big horrible

crisis? >> government spending is 3.8 trillion and you are going to cut 100 billion? that's the deck chair on the titanic. it's not really a dramatic change. >> might be good if it's across the board. >> if they are actual cuts i think that's good. i tut 10 percent across the board if i had my drtuthers. let's save the things that are really important and cut the things that are not important. >> test all or not. it's all crucial. connection increases but we have a trillion dollar deficit. we are already spending each year a trillion more than we take in. saying we are going to raise taxes by 400 billion in one year, we are already raising them a trillion in the future. so to me the idea of raising taxes is probably a good idea.

it says this spending that we have been doing is not a free lunch. >> not just raising taxes let's even things out a bit get rid of some deduction make the code simpler. that wouldn't be bad. >> tax reform would be a great idea. there's good tax reform some bad tax reform. some would be good to get rid of some maybe not so good. certainly taking advantage of this scary fiscal cliff would be a good idea to prod congress. >> if i look at the list of them i can't see congress agreeing with them deductions for pension contributions, mortgage deductio deductions, earned income tax credit. there's having children. oo a oo charity. >> i don't need this to say they are not going to give that up. >> they could put a cap on the

size on the total amount of deductions. >> about half of spending cuts would come from the military budget. you are not a defense specialist. it is almost a 10 percent cut i am told. it is terrible. the republicans are historicyst about it. >> both parties are hysterical. it would bring us back to where we were in defense spending in 2006. with inflation. which isn't a crisis year for the pentagon. the had years of luxury and big increases. if you cut the budget a bit they scream from the heavens. it would weaken our defense systems be irresponsible.

senators mccain and graham has a threat to the national security must not occur. >> it is not the best way but it could be useful. i think we need bigger cuts than the defense budget because we do too much. >> i think austerity. >> what do we do too much? >> we try to make it everything in the world. every unsafe country is with us the ability to defend ourselves if we cut it we need to prioritize it more. >> they talked about being able to save on things because the military was forced to pay for things they didn't even want. i was skeptical. looking it up the army says they have exceeded their space wait

and power. the army chief of staff warfare has chained. we can't believe we will ever see a stray conventional could be flikt again. they insist on buying these things. >> it is somewhere important whe from the state number one to turn it off. that's in ohio and michigan which has a lot of important members in congress they keep saying buy more and more. >> let's return to the big picture. they are talking about cuffs cs if they happen. spending will grow. big deal. >> i think we are sending a signal wouto the world we are n acting lake grown-ups we are not mature and responsible. it would be great if someone in washington could take the lead and say hey it's time to acted like a grownup. most important things i learned

is what are you spending the money on? i don't think we get $3.8 trillion worthed of value from what we are currently spending on. >> not from food stamps? they are going up sharply. >> how about people are disabled? payments up sharply for that. >> the country gets safer all of the time but they get more flexibility. >> people go on disability. >> the value of government guaranteed mortgages going through the roof. >> yeah, they are being a little more cautious now. i would be more worried about the value of pensions for state employees which will be difficult for the federal government not to step in and honor the state gvtmentes to -- governments to pay. that's a trillion dollars on top of everything else.

we made too many promises we can't keep. he lives closer to our means and live wisely. >> thank you. up next my crystal ball reveals the supreme court which says that she is old so is he and he, therefore he will get to the point of being new liberals. we will tell you when we come back. from investing for the first time... to investing with knowledge. the potential of td ameritrade unlocked. nyse euronext. unlocking the world's potential. to a world of super-connected intelligence. the potential of freescale unlocked.

get. you will get someone like justice sotomayor or keg began who plans to sit there another 30 or 40 years. >> 30 years is the norm now. when it was created most were past the average age of death. >> as you know they serve for life. they have taken their terms so far as they can control this during the presidency of a party that pinted them. to the extent this is a free choice they will accept to do that. you can sound lie expect they will leave the court in the next ten years. >> scalia is 76 years old just as kennedy is 76.

he's a swing justice. >> they are a young 76? >> they are a young 76. say we have four people 80 years old let's say they all leave the court for whatever reason and president obama picks chuck schumer hillary clinton nancy pelo pelosi, barney frank. what changes? >> if president obama were able to replace justice scalia and justice kennedy for people with a like mind president that would change the balance on the court radically. that would undo the second amendment and return it to the point where the progressives like it which is only the government can allow guns. >> school of choice? >> i would say there would be little left of school of choice. a supreme court would require you to go to the public school -- present your children

in the public school to the neighborhood where you live and pay taxes. >> president obama says even if your relaying gus belief you have to pay for it. >> doesn't care about that he would appoint justtises without agreeing with them. >> what else can it change. a sort filled with sonia sotomayor will be an act tis court. they are yawning enough to serve 20, 25. >> it will put an i am print on the law of the land. >> do you run a business, free jobs? my crystal paul says the next four years may drown you. ♪
